Chapter 334: Interpretation of The Book of Law

Turning his head, Li Mo could vaguely see a 'human' with the appearance of a woman.

This description might sound confusing, but it was the most accurate way to describe it.

Above its head was a halo, the mark of an angel. But Li Mo knew very well that this being's name didn't appear in any religious texts.

"Of course, we can talk."

"I'm very curious about you."

"Shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"

"Oh? Shouldn't that be my question?" The being that resembled an angel said, "**Beast444**, that's your magic name, right? But you've never revealed your true name to anyone. Why is that?"

"Because I'm afraid," Li Mo replied. "After learning about the existence of **Magic Gods**, my caution toward this world has increased significantly. How many times has the current history been altered by the Magic Gods?"

Magic Gods—the eternal ceiling of power. Even if later in the story, there are beings like the **"Transcendents"** who claim to have the means to kill Magic Gods, it's like a child claiming they can kill an adult with a wooden sword. But can the child really defeat the adult?

"Magic Gods aren't that terrifying."

"I'm not as strong as you or the Board Chairman."

**Aiwass**, the angel not bound by any mysticism, is the purest angel, existing solely within the "world constructed by physical laws." In terms of strength, Aiwass is one of the top-tier beings below the Magic Gods. And standing beside Aiwass is **Aleister Crowley**, the man who refused to become a Magic God.

The gap between individuals is just that vast.

"You can call me 'Dragon.'"

"A codename."

"Correct."

Codename: Dragon.

Li Mo found this codename quite interesting. The concept of the "dragon" holds significant weight in various mythologies. Moreover, whether in Eastern or Western cultures, the image of the dragon is often associated with serpents.

The connection between dragons and serpents speaks volumes.

"What do you want from me?"

Li Mo and Aiwass walked through the city without encountering anyone. There was no need to overthink it—sometimes, it's enough to simply enjoy the tranquility of the city.

"Are you interested in the **Book of the Law**?"

"That grimoire is already in my mind."

"But you don't have the means to interpret it, do you?"

Li Mo fell silent.

The **Book of the Law** was written by Aleister Crowley, but its core content was dictated by Aiwass, the being standing before him.

As of now, any interpretation of the **Book of the Law** is incorrect. The only ones who know the correct interpretation are Aleister Crowley and Aiwass.

"You called me here for this?"

Li Mo had left Kamijou Touma's side because he heard Aiwass's voice.

"You're very mysterious, mysterious enough to pique the curiosity of both me and Aleister."

"Oh? I'm just an ordinary magician."

"An ordinary magician wouldn't become a being representing a part of humanity." Aiwass said, "**Beast of Original Sin**, the embodiment of extreme evil. The story of **Angra Mainyu** you mentioned is interesting, but that's not you. There's a subtle trace of **Tamamo-no-Mae** in you, but in reality, you have no connection to any religion or mythology. To be honest, if you were a bit stronger, I'd think you and I came from the same place."

Li Mo said, "I still have a long way to go before I can stand shoulder to shoulder with you. I think I understand what you're asking, but I can't answer. Perhaps you'll find out when I leave."

Had Aleister discovered something?

But Li Mo had appeared in France…

Considering what had happened in Avignon, France, it wasn't surprising that Aleister knew. Academy City is an independent city-state within Japan, much like the Vatican—a sovereign entity.

—Never underestimate Aleister.

"Is that so? Then I'll wait and see. How about I give you the interpretation of the **Book of the Law**?"

"Deal."

The transaction was settled.

Li Mo had no reason to refuse this offer. If a teacher was willing to teach him, why would he say no? What could be better than this?

It would take some time.

Aiwass began to speak slowly, and Li Mo listened intently. In his mind, he pulled up the original text of the **Book of the Law**, following Aiwass's interpretation.

This book holds a high status in this world.

It's a book that cannot be interpreted.

Even **Index Librorum Prohibitorum** could only memorize it without understanding it. According to her, it's something that human language cannot decipher.

Similarly, this uninterpretable grimoire has garnered high praise. Many have said that when this book is opened, the era of Christianity will end, and a new era will begin.

Listening to Aiwass's interpretation, Li Mo had to admit that such praise was justified. Aiwass's knowledge was indeed unparalleled.

"Was the explanation really that quick?"

"That's all there is to the **Book of the Law**."

"Suddenly, I wish I didn't have the ability to understand such rapid speech."

While explaining, Aiwass used a technique similar to **High-Speed Divine Words**. Coincidentally, Li Mo could keep up with this technique, following Aiwass's pace.

The content was fascinating, so much so that Li Mo didn't want it to end. If the system were more efficient, he might have seen his mastery of mysticism rise to a new level.

**Medea**'s explanations were also excellent, but Aiwass's were more detailed, as if tailored specifically for Li Mo.

Aiwass seemed exceptionally skilled in this area.

"Is that so? Li Mo, would you like to see Academy City's **Library**?"

"Am I allowed to?"

Li Mo looked at Aiwass with suspicion.

The importance of the Library was undeniable. It likely contained the core data on Academy City's development of esper abilities—something every faction dreamed of obtaining. Such confidential information—could he really access it?

"The Library contains **Accelerator**'s calculation formulas. Don't you want those? Also, Aleister hasn't been able to hear our conversation."

Aiwass's words made Li Mo think. Accelerator's calculation formulas were something he had considered using to modify **Thorom's Spell**. Who wouldn't want a power as perfect as **Vector Control**?

Shaking his head, Li Mo declined, "No, the Library is too valuable."

Obtaining Accelerator's calculation formulas wasn't that difficult. **Kinuhata Saiai** was already using them, wasn't she?

There were many ways to get them, and accessing the Library was undoubtedly the riskiest.

"Then it's up to you. Remember our deal… and also, you owe Aleister a favor."

"I understand."

The appearance of **Kihara Noukan** was likely orchestrated by Aleister, and Li Mo acknowledged the debt.

Of course, the reason Li Mo remained so calm now was simple.

The **Angel Fall** mission was complete.
